Brainstorming about identifying as a vaccine recipient

What do people think about a campaign of wearing buttons saying 'I got vaccinated' or something similar? I've seen some online, but if we could find a way to provide these buttons to people free of charge, it's likely that more people would get them and wear them.

Ideas?

Awareness (to encourage more to get vaccinated) - or making people feel it's OK to be around you unmasked?

Had little round pins. I assumed she got them from the vaccination place. I was looking forward to getting mine. Just because.

I hate that expression. I think it would scare those inclined to be afraid of vaccination.

Call it vaccinated.

I am looking forward to seeing them one of these days, but it’s going to take airplane flights.

I was talking about making them available *free* to vaccine recipients to increase the likelihood that people would actually get them and wear them.

Shows that even though I am vaccinated, I am still trying to stop the spread.

They have them for Pfizer as well on eBay.
